New car question

The lease is up on our Murano. We've been shopping around. We really want another baby so we know we'll need something with more seating. We found a 2008 Kia Sedona at a GREAT deal.

Our big question is IF we have another baby. We don't know for sure it is going to happen though. So we are up in the air regarding whether to buy the minivan now...on the chance that we'll have another baby or to stick with our Murano which we do really like.

The biggest question in my mind is do we give up a Nissan that we love for a Kia that we might need.

If you absolutely love your Murano, you should keep it. If you do get pregnant in the near future, you can always trade it in for a minivan that you want.

Re: New car question

I would keep the Murano. My friend just recently gave hers up when her lease expired, she has a 4 year old and 2.5 year old twins.

She said she still misses that car. But if she can fit 3 toddler/kids in the car, I am sure you can fit 2 carseats if thats your concern

Re: New car question

The Murano is very roomy. It should fit two children in the back with infant/toddler seats with no problem.
My friend is on her second Murano, and we usually sit in the back and the guys in the front.
There's always a lot of room for us, even when we put down the armrest for the cup holders.

Try it out - if your child is old enough for a toddler seat, install the infant seat as well and see if you have enough room to maneuver around the back.

Kia's are good cars. They have come a long way and get a bad rep. The new ones are gorgeous!!

Re: New car question

Kia is owned by Hyundai - and I have to say they make excellent cars and vans. I would buy a Kia over a Nissan in a heart beat...In fact, I have. We owned a 2006 Kia Sportage which was a great truck, my mother in law has a 2006 sportage with 50k miles on it and never had a problem, and our friend has a 2007 sportage with 50k which she travels far in all the time and has not had one problem either.
